Getting there in time to save our (and hopefully many other) species in time is the question.

I heard that in the Us the vast majority of our food comes from five animal and eleven plant species... there's no biodiversity in the majority of our food sources anymore. This is one of the reasons for things like the great potato famine, they focused on one type of potato though there are thousands of types and when the blight took it all out, guess what.

I think you are correct, it may well be too late.
